For the uninitiated, The Besnard Lakes are Canada’s kings of loopy, morose rock. I’ve been playing the hell out of “People of the Sticks” from their new Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO, but didn’t realize they’d released a video for it until yesterday. The story in short: Young gymnast is offered pharmaceuticals (bearing the faces of the band members) by an impressively bearded gentleman. Balance-beam psychedelia ensues. By no means did this enhance the song for me, but its seemingly intentionally crappy production values are pretty hilarious.
